Whatever Happened To You? Lyrics - Holiday In Dirt - Stan Ridgway

Now you're a long way from graduation and the age of teen 

Sometimes you feel like you woke up on the wrong side of the scene 

You pull yourself out of bed, you're lookin' pretty good for your age (mm-hmm!) 

You open up the paper, scan the headline and you turn the page 

Now there's a picture of Melissa, yeah she married some French tycoon 

It says here they bought a house from Cher they're gonna sell real soon 

And on the Metro pages, Jackie downtown with the cuffs on his hands 

And looks like Mary left Jerry got with Barry now they're both in some kind of rock-'n-roll band 

Chorus: 

I wonder whatever happened to you 

Did you survive and did you get through? 

I wonder whatever happened to you 

Did you survive and did you get through? 

Well now Jimmy's working magic on a Shanghai movie this year 

While Larry's on the TV set sellin' low-cal cheese and beer 

And Christie's goin' crazy paintin' tin can dolls in her garage 

While Laverne walks the boulevard, and keeps chasin' Hollywood mirage 

Chorus repeat 

And are you happy? 

And did it all work out? 

Whatever happened to you? 

I never found out 

Where you went to 

Well now sometimes I wonder whatever happened to you 

Did you ever survive and did you ever get through? 

And do you drive a brand new car? 

And do your kids always know just who you are? 

Are you happy? Did it all work out? 

Whatever happened to you? 

Whatever happened to you.
